Instructions
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter. Add bread cubes evenly to the dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream (if using), pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
- Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes. Press gently to soak. Cover and refrigerate overnight or let sit for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes or until the top is golden and the center is set.
- Let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to control sweetness and spice.
- Day-old bread holds up best and prevents sogginess.
- Add a streusel topping or nuts for extra texture.
